EYEILET.

ESPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,707, dated May 13, 1884:.

Application filed February 11, 1884.

.To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. Ross, of the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Eyelets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an eyelet adapted for use in corsets, neckscarfs, and a variety of other articles of dress where an eyelet and a pin or button are employed to form the 0011- nection between two edges or parts of a garment, or to connect one article of dress with another, such as a neokscarf with the neckband of a shirt.

The said invention consists in an eyelet formed of a continuous strip of sheet metal of L cross-section, having a lateral extension of reduced width adapted to receive the neck of the button or pin after the insertion of its head through the main portion of the eyelet,

as will hereinafter more fully appear.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, Figure I is a view of two pieces of material united by my improved eyelet and a pin. Fig. II is a section of Fig. I on the dotted line or m. Fig. III is a fiat view of the Fig.

eyelet before its edge is turned over. IV is an edge view of Fig. III.

A is the eyelet, which consists of anendless strip of soft metal of an L cross-section, and

(N0 model.)

annular in form, with an extension, a, of a width much less than the diameter of the main portion 7). The diameter. of the part b of the eyelet is such as will admit of its being passed loosely over the head 0 of the pin B, or over a button, if such device is used instead of the pin B. The extension (1. of the eyelet has an inner width slightly greater than the diameter the circular one heretofore employed.

I claim as my invention As an improved article, an eyelet of annular shape, with a lateral extension of reduced width, formed of a continuous strip of sheet metal, with two flanges set at a right angle, substantially as specified.
